    An excellent action Rogue-lite that is ultimately too hard for me. 0

    Downwell is a dastardly hard platforming shmup rogue-lite.Instead of heading left-to-right shooting enemies in your way, you're tumbling down a seemingly endless well with platforms, enemies, hazards, and holes in the wall that contain weapons, gems, or shops with only the ability to run, jump, and multi-jump while shooting shots directly below you.

You control a nameless character, swiftly and unflinchingly traversing down a well, killing anything in your way with the help of your trusty gunboots and bouncing off of enemies.That’s basically all the game gives you at the outset.
